Watchguard System Manager

You install WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) software on a computer that you designate as the management computer. You can use the WSM tools on the management computer to manage your XTM device and get access to information such as connection and tunnel status, statistics on traffic, and log messages.

Select one Windows-based computer on your network as the management computer and install the WSM management software. To install the WatchGuard System Manager software, you must have administrative privileges on the management computer. After installation, you can use the WSM client application and tools with Windows Power User privileges, but you must have administrative privileges to use WatchGuard Server Center and manage your WatchGuard servers.

For more information about WatchGuard servers, see About WatchGuard Servers.

You can install more than one version of WatchGuard System Manager on the same management computer, as long as the versions of WSM are not in the same major release version. For example, you can install both WSM v10.2 and WSM v11.9.4, but not WSM v11.8 and WSM v11.9.4. You can install only one version of server software on a computer at a time. For example, you cannot have two Management Servers on the same computer.

If you install WatchGuard System Manager behind your firewall, to use WatchGuard WebCenter, you must have the WG-LogViewer-ReportMgr packet filter policy in your XTM device configuration to open the correct ports.

For more information about how to add a policy to your configuration, see Add Policies to Your Configuration.

Back up Your Previous Configuration

If you have a previous version of WatchGuard System Manager, make a backup of your security policy configuration file before you install a new version. For instructions to make a backup of your configuration file, see Make a Backup of the XTM Device Image.

Download WatchGuard System Manager

You can download the most current WatchGuard System Manager software at any time from the WatchGuard Portal. If you are a new user, before you can download the WSM software, you must create a user profile and activate your product at the WatchGuard Portal.

If you install one of the WatchGuard servers on a computer with a personal firewall other than the Microsoft Windows firewall, you must open the ports for the servers to connect through the firewall. To allow connections to the WebBlocker Server, open UDP port 5003. It is not necessary to change your configuration if you use the Microsoft Windows firewall. For more information, see Install WatchGuard Servers on Computers with Desktop Firewalls.

Before you begin, make sure you have the correct license keys for the software components you want to install.

To install the WatchGuard System Manager and WatchGuard servers:

1. On the management computer, download the latest version of WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) software.
2. Run the WatchGuard System Manager Installer and follow the instructions on each page of the installer.
3. On the Select Components page, select the software components or upgrades to install.
   Make sure you select the check boxes for only the components you want to install.
   To install the localized versions of WSM, select the check box for each language you want to install.

4. Complete the installer.

After your Management Server is installed, you can use it to manage your Firebox or XTM devices. Before you add devices to your Management Server, make sure they are set up and configured correctly. To set up each device, you must run the Quick Setup Wizard either from the web or as a Windows application.

• For instructions to run the wizard from the web, see Run the Web Setup Wizard.
• For instructions to run the wizard as a Windows application, see Run the WSM Quick Setup Wizard.
